I have a special person in my life that was diagnosed to be bipolar/manic depressed. he now is feeling lots of regret about our relationship. Do bipolar people regret things because of the sickness that their normal state of mind wouldnt regret? Do they want to take certain negative/horrible actions that they normally wouldnt take? and is an unhealthy marriage somewhat of a cause for someone to become bipolar/manic depressed? please help. i am so lost and confused.

okey, this is weird and ive done some research but i dont know what to do.

i think ive got this S.A.D syndrome (Seasonal Affective Disorder). its when you feel sad in different seasons, most people have it in winter but i seem to have it in winter and summer.

in the summer i feel depressed and i miss the winter but in the winter i still feel depressed and i miss the summer. ino it sounds weird and your probly thinking well hes depressed all the time then, but i dont its only in the eveinings. i feel more depressed in the winter than i do in the summer.

im 16 and when i was reasearching it it sed that this syndrome mainly only effects people above 20.

i just want to know if other people feel like this, and how they deal with it.

thanks

i have just started taking Lamiictal for my Bipolar II depresiion. i am on my second day and it seems like it is just making me worse. is this side effects from the meds or does it take a while for the meds to get into your blood stream? can the side effects be immediate? side effects [ie. restlessness, joint pain, insomnia, worsen depression, anxiety]

A dreadful year on Zoloft and poor talk therapy has turned my child against medical help. I haven't found the right words at the right time to get my child to seek help and stop feeling hopeless and adrift.

First off I would just like to say I am a firm believer in not using drugs. This question is to further educate myself on the subject, because of history with family members and friends.

I have allot of people I know taking SSRI medication for depression, like Paxil; but they also take a medication used to treat bi polor disorder called lamictal, and another for paranoia( I don't what that one is called.) Anyways my question is, what happens if while they are taking those they bring Crystal meth into the mix?

What are some of the risks and side effects. If anyone can let me know as soon as possible I would really appriciate it.

Oh ps.
Don't do drugs not a good idea ^_^

When they get older , many older people become childish thinking. Thinking about very trivial things and act like little children about things. What is the cause of this? I know it is a form of seniality , but could sombody explain what is happening in their body or brain?

Also does this happen to people , say in their 30's as well. Or maybe some people just never really "grow up"? Why do some people who should be married and having adult life, still behave as little children? Something similar to above?

When somebody annoys me or is rude to me I automatically lash out. Yesterday a woman at the mall opened the door and held it open for her friend but couldn't bother to hold it open one second longer for me. I started swearing at her. The other day I threw a can at my dad's head when he was bugging me. Do I need anger managment? After, when I've had time to think, I do feel sorry for my outbursts, it's just that in the moment I can't control myself.

I began taking Adderall a few days ago for ADD/ADHD and I have noticed my resting heart rate has significantly increased. While my resting heart rate, when I am not on Adderall is around 60-65 bpm, my heart rate on the drug is 100-120 bpm. Should I be worried? Will my heart eventually pump at its normal rate? Should I avoid exercise?

I have these crazy panic attacks that come out of nowhere where I feel like I'm going out of my mind...which in turn is even scarier because I think that if I do really go out of my mind I'll be locked up in a mental institution. Is there anything that is better (more mild) that xanax? I don't wanna keep taking the hard stuff and end up getting addicted. More so is there a natural remedy or herbs (mixture of herbs) that can help?

I am in depression, and I know it. I don't need people to tell me twice.
I feel the need to say goodbye to the world.
Im mad at myself constantly...
I want to talk to someone about it.
But the last person I want to know is my family.
Especially my parents.

What do I do?

I thought I could write poetry. My friends all were like
"HOLY CRAP THATS GOOD!'
So.
And then I just got rejected by people on yahoo that my poems suck really bad and they said not to write ne more.
Okay I suck. Im not happy about it but i really can't do much rite.
Ive played the piano for...years. 8 years.
And What if im not even that good either?
Im not that old.
Not into highskool yet.
But I thought i was good up until yesterday. When I was rejected by so many people...
I write songs. Not words (ne more) Just music.
What if thats bad too?
I know you can't hear it. Because.. yea. This is a comuter, and i have no files online.

he says his worries keep him up at night, and he refuses to take a sleep aid. are there any foods or herbs that he can take that will help quiet his mind and give him a full night's rest?
